Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
A.N. Sorry it's been awhile to update, but got stuck on what to do, running out of ideas for this story, I changed the way they go to Gringots, as you'll see in this chapter, wanted to do something different, hope it's good.
Chapter 6
Winter suddenly came with a vengeance: The vampires woke up one night to find the ground covered in snow, and the little white fakes were still coming down hard. The night-time almost looked like day the way the white snow lit it up.
"Looks pretty." Ginny commented, of course they did not care that it snowed so much, since that could not stop them, nor did they even get cold in the winter weather.
"Well, at least if we have to go out in the day we can now." Sophia said. Her, Ginny, and Caleb stepped out of the tent into the snow, within minutes, their heads were covered.
"Where's Harry?" Ginny asked, suddenly realizing her husband was not standing with them.
"Left about an hour ago." Caleb said. "Before the sun went down, I guess he knew of the snow and clouds then, but anyway, said he had a sudden idea and wanted to look into it."
"Oh." Ginny said, she looked down and kicked the sun with her foot. Sophia reached over and patted her back.
"Do not worry, my brother will be back to his old self soon." Sophia said. "Once he gets over it and realizes it's not his fault."
Four days ago a member of their clan had found them and alerted Harry about the attack on their house, and of course since he was not there to protect his people or had killed Bryce when he should have, he blamed himself, even though none of the clan had been killed and in fact Frona had been the only one hurt, she was fine now of course, the clan was staying at House one until the war ended and Bryce was being kept in the basement, until Harry was able to be there and figured out what to do with him.
"Wonder what day it is?" Ginny said.
"If it's the day I think it is, then Hogwarts students will be getting up in the morning to ride home." Sophia said.
"Ohh, I would love to be able to see this snow on the train." Ginny said. "It would be really pretty."
After a moment longer standing out there watching the snow, they decided to go back in and have a seat, after all they couldn't leave until Harry came back from wherever he went.
"So, did you ever figure out where you saw that symbol Mr. Lovegood was wearing at Bill's wedding?" Ginny asked, as she watched Sophia sit down and dig out the book she took from Bagshot's house.
"Yes, I figured that out days ago." Sophia said. "When I first go this book, it's the symbol above the story of the thee brothers."
"I used to love hearing my Mum tell me that story." Ginny smiled.
"My Granddad Potter use to tell it to me when I was real little." Sophia said. "When Mum and Dad left us with them while they went off to play Qudditch, he had an old book just like this one, one of the first ever stories of Beedle and the Bard." Sophia showed one of her very rare smiles. "Only way I would go to sleep at night was for granddad to bring out this book and tell me the story."
"Explains why Mr. Lovegood was wearing it." Ginny laughed a little. "He probably believes the story to be turn, Luna dose."
Sophia smirked. "They are not the only ones, Granddad Potter believed them also." Ginny frowned at her and Sophia's smirk grew. "That's why I found that symbol so familiar, granddad once showed it to me. He claims our family cloak, or Harry's cloak now, is the one from the story."
"Oh come on." Ginny said. "No offense but your granddad must have been a little sane, there is no way that Harry's cloak is Death's cloak."
"Well, the Brothers in the story are supposedly the Peverell brothers." Sophia said. "We are descended from Ignotus Perverell."
"Yeah, but Ginny's right." Caleb said, he reached over and took the book from Sophia. "I have read this story a couple of times since you found this book, and I doubt three wizards no matter how powerful they are. There is no way they meant Death on a lonely road and tricked them into give them three powerful gifts, a wand that could not be beat, a stone that brings back the dead and his own invisibility cloak."
"You know how myths and legends are." Sophia said. "They say they all start from some truth. The Peverells could have made the things themselves or had them made by some powerful wizard and through the many years since then-"
"The story got stretched a bit." Caleb nodded. "Now that makes sense."
"More than a bit." Ginny said. "But what's this got to do with anything?"
"Remember how we keep hearing on Potterwatch that Voldmort is over seas somewhere?" Sophia asked.
"Yeah?" Ginny answered. "People think he is searching for something. Because old wizards keep popping up dead."
"That's right." Sophia said. "And I believe I know what."
"Not the things from the story." Caleb frowned. "I don't know much about Voldemort, but I doubt he reads fairy tales."
"I don't mean all the Deathly Hallows." Sophia said.
"The what?" Caleb asked.
"The things in the book." Sophia snapped. "I just mean the wand, this story is not the only story you hear that wand in. The name changes but the wand stays the same."
"Yeah." Ginny nodded. "The Deathstick the Elder wand are just two of names it's been called, many people have held the thing through the centuries, must of those people were murdered because they boasted about having the thing, I've read about it in one of my magic history books, just one of the many chapters Binns never taught about."
"Yes." Sophia said. "And that is why I think Voldemort is looking for it. He wants it because he thinks-"
"The wand will make him more powerful." Caleb said. "I get what you're saying."
"Hopefully he can't find it or it was lost or destroyed-"
"Years and Years ago." Sophia finished Ginny's sentence.
A shiver suddenly ran down Ginny's spine and she stood. "I wish Harry would hurry." She moved over the tent flap and looked out, but there was no sign of her vampire husband anywhere.
"Wish Harry would hurry up." Ginny said. "I'm starting to-"
"There he is." Caleb said, he had come up next to Ginny, and made her jump a little. It took her a while, but she finally saw him. He was a little way away, heading straight for them.
"About time." Ginny said, as she watched Harry get closer, she then stepped out into the white snow to greet him. Sophia and Caleb following her.
"Where have you been?" Sophia demanded, crossing her arms.
"Diagon Ally." Harry said, if he had been mortal he would have still been pretty far away, but with his vampire speed he made it up the them pretty fast.
"What?" Ginny demanded, with a frown.
"Look," Harry said. "I was up all day thinking-"
"Uh oh." Caleb snickered, Harry rolled his eyes.
"Very funny." Harry said. "Anyway, I was trying to think of a place Voldemort would hide a Horcrux, and I got to thinking maybe we were going about looking for them the wrong way."
"What do you mean?" Caleb asked.
"Well, we've looked in places we know Voldemort has been." Harry explained. "Places he grew up or went to as a child, it's true the locket was once hidden in a cave he visited as a child, but..that cave was the first place Voldemort performed remarkable magic, where he was starting to realize who or what he was, his first connection to the wizard world-"
"Get to the point." Caleb demanded, making Sophia smack his arm.
"Well, it dawned on me that maybe instead of hiding them in places his been, he hide the rest in places that makes him feel right at home in the wizard world." Harry explained. "And what place really marks a wizard's status in this world, Gringotts. The more Galleons there and the older your vaults are."
"The more you're respected and believed to be a pur-blood." Ginny nodded, in agreement. "But do we even know if Voldemort has a vault. His Riddle name is muggle, so it would be under, what?"
"Graunt." Harry said. "And from the looks of them in those memories Dumbledore showed me, I doubt they had two knutts to rub together little lone a vault at Gringots, I am sure at one time they did, considering they were descendents of Slytheirn, but they most have blew it all by the time the Graunts came around, and we know if a vault sets empty too many years at Gringots-"
"The Goblins don't consider it yours anymore." Sophia said. "They take so much out every few years to pay for the use of it and security."
"Right." Harry nodded. "Just like muggle banks."
"I still don't see the point." Caleb complained. "So if, Mr. No nose, doesn't have a vault-"
"He would have hidden it in the Vault of one of his most trusted Death Eaters." Harry said. "Which I figured was down to two families, the Malfoys and the Lastranges."
"And since ole' Lucius messed up with his diary." Ginny said. "Given it to my brother he wouldn't trust him with another part of his soul."
"Right." Harry said. "Which leaves the Lastranges."
"So, you think there is a possibility one of the last Horcruxes out is in Lastrange's vault." Sophia said. Harry nodded.
"Yes, my reasons for going to Daigon Ally, I wanted to see how hard it would be to get in there and out." Harry said.
"Aw, I see." Caleb said. "And how is it?"
"Let's just say, it'll take a couple of days planning." Harry said. "And I think we should hit it at night when it's closed, it'll be easier."
"No," Sophia said. "We hit during the busiest time and day, that way we can hide among the bankers."
"It's winter now we don't have to worry about the sun." Ginny added. "But, I think we might need a little help."
"Help?" Harry asked, frowning.
"Someone who knows the ins and outs of Gringotts, and all the charms and enchantments." Ginny said, smirking. "And how we'll get around them and stuff."
"And who would that-" Harry's eyes widened. "Oh."
Half-hour later the four vampires were standing outside of Shell Cottage knocking on the door. And after declaring who they were the door was opened by a long red haired Weasley.
"Bill." Ginny grinned, before he could ask what they were doing there. "We need your help." He frowned at her as a big gust of wind blowing his red hair in his face.
"You want to rob Gringotts." Bill demanded, an hour later, they were all now sitting around the kitchen table in Bill and Fleur's cozy little cottage, as Fleur walked around pouring them all a second cup of tea. Bill nodded his thanks as he lifted the milk pitcher and poured some into his tea.
"That is crazy." Fleur said, waving one hand, as she used the other to pour herself a cup, all the vampires had refused any. "Even I know you cannot rob Gringotts."
"We don't want to rob it." Sophia said, glaring at the part veela. "We need to get something out of the Lastrange vault, something that can help put a stop to Voldemort."
"Same thing." Fleur glared back.
"You do realize the Lastrange vault will be one of the most protected." Bill said, he had a thoughtful look on his face. "Yes, and they'll be all sorts of spells and enchantments to get passed.
"You ca not seriously be considering helping them?" Fleur demanded.
"Of course I am." Bill said, in a voice that said he could not believe she asked that. "If Harry getting his hands on this-whatever it is- can put a stop to Voldemort, I am all for it."
"What about your job?" Fleur demanded. "Mine, your life, this is far too dangerous. You'll get yourself killed.
"No we won't." Bill shook his head. "And stopping Voldemort is far more important than any job, I'm bound to be sacked any day now anyway, with Voldemort basically controlling everything, the only reason they haven't taking complete control over Gringotts yet, is because of the goblins resisting, and besides, if Voldemort isn't stop we'll all day at their hands sooner or later anyway."
"You're just doing this because of her." Fleur said. Waving her hand towards Sophia, jealousy dipping in her voice. "Because of the history between you two."
"What are you talking about?" Caleb demanded, as Bill opened his mouth to say anything.
"Nothing." Sophia said a little too fast. Fleur huffed and stormed out of the room.
They decided to stay at Shell Cottage as they planned with Bill to rob the Lastrange vault, and that night Harry found out just what Fleur had been talking about as he and Ginny laid one room over from Caleb and Sophia as they argued, and underneath Fleur and Bill as they argued, apparently Sophia and Bill had a fling back in Hogwarts right before Bill left school, and from Caleb's shouts he was not too happy about Sophia keeping it from him, and Bill didn't seem too happy about Fleur for saying something, nor that Sophia had found out he told her when they had promised to keep that a secret between the two of them.
The next few days there was awkward to say the lest, the only timed Caleb or Sophia was in the same room was during their planing, and that was filled with a lot of bickering and smart remarks toward one another, but mostly Caleb throwing them toward Bill, and Harry could tell it was taking all he had not to jump up and rip off Bill's head, when ever he walked into the same room as Caleb.
Sophia had won the argument that day time when the bank was crowded with people would be the best, though most those people these days were Death Eaters, or none Death Eater Voldemort supporters, everyone else too afraid to go into Diagon Ally, which been pretty much taken over by the "Bad Guys'' or so Bill said.
The women seemed to be winning all the arguments in the plans to "rob" Gringotts, because Ginny won the argument that it would be best, if they split up, and hide in different parts of Gringotts and watch the going ons, while they waited for the right time to make their move. Harry and Caleb only gave in only when the girls agreed to keep in contact with them by using the muggle walkie talkies Caleb brought with them, along with a lot of other muggle devices. He had brought an extra incase one broke, so that would be what Bill used.
They all agreed that it would be best to hide under black robes with hoods, so there was no risk of being seen, mostly by those who would know who they were. Not that they were afraid of getting themselves killed, because even a room of Death Eaters was no match for four powerful vampires, but because the fight would but a holt on their planes of getting to the Lastrang vault and getting the Horcrux.
And Harry had never gave much thought to what his wife's eldest brother did for a living, until now, he was never more glad that he was married to the little sister of a Gringotts employee, who had the goblins trust, or what was close to it anyone could get, and knew all the charms, spells, enchantments and traps all the vaults. And was easy for him to steal and bring home a set of vault keys, information and which spells was on the Gringotts vaults, and a map showing where every vault was in the place..
It took them about a month and a half to come up with a plan they all agreed on. Though Harry thought they could have been a lot quicker, if not for all the bickering and fighting, and he wondered not for the first time, why those who were suppose to be adults could act more like a child than a child does.
The night before the big event they were all sitting around the fire-place, it was colder than ever outside and snow just wouldn't let up, Fleur who had spent most the time shut up in her and Bill's room, had come down stairs for a little warmth from the fire, Caleb was the only one not here and he was gone hunting or so Sophia said, Harry had the feeling they had another fight about Bill, if he went by the sad look in Sophia's face, he feeling was right.
No one said anything, they all just sat around enjoying the warmth and silence when suddenly the sound of someone pounding on the door made them jump. Then look at one another, then all at once jump to their feet.
"Bill pulled out his wand, and headed over to the door. "Who is it?" He demanded.
"Cody Evan Potter." Said a voice from the other side of the door. "Let me in. My ass is freezing off out here."
"That's my brother alright." Harry said, grinning. Bill looked from him to Sophia.
"I can smell his sent." She said, Bill gave a nod, and pulled open the door, and Cody came into the cottage with a about time, but he didn't seem to upset, no he looked as if he just had the best time of his life, grinning from ear to ear, and looked as if he was itching to jump up and down.
"Cody, what on earth?" Bill asked, as he closed the door, "Would bring you out-"
"A girl." Cody said. "She had a girl."
"What?" Harry demanded, confused, and for the first time Cody looked over at him.
"Harry!" He cried, and ran right to him, and gave him a hug so tight, if it had not been for Harry being a vampire, he was sure Cody would have broken a few bones.
"Hermione had a girl!" Cody shouted, when he finally let go of Harry, and this time he actually did jump up. "Look" He pulled a photo out of his pocket, and held it out, everyone gathered around to see a tiny little baby wrapped in a pink blanket, lying in her mother's arms. Couldn't be but a few hours old and already had a head full of dark red hair and big brown eyes.
"What's her name?" Fleur demanded, smiling, Harry noticed her lay a hand on her stomach, and two things hit him at once. The first: he was pretty sure he knew now why Fleur was over reacting about Bill helping them, and two: Him and Ginny will never get to know how it felt to become parents, the joys of having a little one, because vampires could not have babies or get pregnant.
"Lily Jean Potter." Cody grinned. And when Harry glanced at Ginny staring at the photo, he knew by the look in her eyes, she was thinking the same thing he did, and wondered if it had been right for him to turn Ginny and take that away from her, and for the first time, he began to question if making her a vampire had been the right thing to do.
Cody only stayed a few minutes, long enough for Bill to give a few toast, and for him to announce he made Fred and George Lily's godfathers, something Ginny asked him if he was crazy for, then he left. Leaving Harry feeling nothing but regret.
Caleb stayed out all night and only showed up when they were heading out to Gringotts, Sophia didn't even act as if she noticed he was there at all. Harry sighed and rolled his eyes, sometimes they both were just too damn stubborn.
"Okay, everyone ready?" Bill asked, Fleur had left the day before to go stay with the rest of the Weasley's at Ginny and Bill's great Aunt's house, it was safer for her there, and Bill had promised to come there once he was done helping Ginny and Harry.
"Yes." They all said, then put up their hoods to cover their face, and then aparated one by one to Daigon Ally, Harry did noticed Sophia thought enough to grab Caleb's arm and talk him with her, since he could not apparate, but she also immediately let go once they got to Daigon Ally.
Once they got there, they all made sure that they had their walkie talkies, and that they were working right, before one by one, tem minutes apart they headed into the wizard bank and found a place to hide behind, as they waited for the other's. The plan was to sneak in, hide, and once they were all in, they would sneak past everyone, and down to the vaults where they would take a cart to the Lastrange vault, Bill had been able to get hold of keys, a map showing where each vault was, and who it belonged to, and what he called Clankers, when asked what they were for, Bill's answer had been, "Believe me, they will be needed."
"Okay, everyone in?" Bill whispered into his Walkie Talkie, it had been agreed by everyone they he would be in charge of this mission since he was the one who knew Gringots inside and out.
"Yes, I think all are." Ginny whispered into her walking talkie as she looked around to she spotted all of them, then had to duck behind a paler out of set of a Death Eater that walked by. He paused as if he heard something, but as he turned Ginny quickly hide on the other side of the paler our of his line of sight, and when he turned back that way, she quickly went back to the other side, not seeing anything on either side, the Death Eater shrug and went on walking out of the bank.
Gin, you all right?" Harry whispered. "He didn't see you did he?"
"No, I'm pretty sure he didn't." Ginny demanded.
"Good, now can you please stay out of sight?" Bill whispered. "Yo about gave me a heart attack."
"Sorry," Ginny whispered back.
"Let's just get down to the vaults, where it is less likely to be seen." Sophia whispered.
They all agreed, and like outside, one by one, snuck out from behind their hiding places and down to the passages they lead to the vaults, but unlike last time, they only waited five minutes before another one went down, not wanting to risk any longer than that.
When the five of them meet up in the passageway, retold the plane to make sure everyone knew what to do they turned to go toward a cart to find themseleves blocked by a Death Eater.
"Where do you five think you are going?" He demanded. "Uncover your faced, let me see who you are."
At first no of them said anything, or mad a move, but then Sophia slowly reached up took her hood down, and stepped up to the Death Eater, who frowned at her, as her usual green eyes turned light blue.
"Look at me." Sophia demanded. "Into my eyes." The Death Eater blinked, then just stood there staring at her, a blank look on his face, like he wasn't even seeing her. Then Sophia suddenly cried out: Sleep, and the Death Eater dropped to the ground and stared snoring.
"I didn't know we can do that." Ginny cried, looking at the Death Eater in shock.
"It takes a lot of work, and concentration." Sophia said, replacing her hood. "I'll show you how, if you like."
"Cool." Ginny grinned, as they all climbed into the cart, it was a tight fit, but they managed to all squeeze in together, and Bill took control of the cart. The last month he studied the map of the vaults of Gringots, often staying up late, until he learned the way to the Lastarnge vault by heart.
"Ready?" Bill asked, they all nodded, and with a jerk the cart went forward, gathering speed: Soon the cart began twisting and turning through the labyrinthine passages, sloping down all the times. No one spoke, all too nervous the only sound was the rattling of the cart on the tracks: Their hood flew off and their heir blew with the wind, as they went deeper into the earth, even deeper than Harry had ever been in Gringots.
At one time Harry looked back, wondering if it had been a good idea to leave the Death Eater lying back there asleep, maybe they should have taken the time to hide him somewhere, so he wouldn't be seen, now if he was found they would know someone who shouldn't be was down here in the vaults. Harry sighed and turned around.
"What is it?" Ginny asked.
"Maybe we should have hidden that Death Eater for someone wouldn't see him." Harry answered, Ginny frowned and looked back behind her.
"Too late to think about that now." Caleb said, from his spot by Ginny, Harry frowned, and no more was said about it as they went even deeper. Harry couldn't help, but feel as they made a big mistake, and something was going to go wrong.
"Shit!" Bill suddenly cried out, as they headed toward a waterfall, he tried to turn the cart the other way, but it was too late, and they blasted right through the icy cold water: water filled their mouths and eyes: Then, with an awful lurch the cart flipped over and they were all thrown out of it. Harry heard the cart smash into pieces against the passage wall, heard Ginny shriek something and felt himself glide back toward the ground as though weightless, landing painlessly on the rocky passage floor.
"C-Cushioning Charms." Ginny mumbled, as Harry pulled her to her feet, and checked her over.
"Sophia!" Out of the corner of his eyes, Harry saw Caleb rushing over to Sophia and help her up.
"I'm fine, Caleb." Sophia said, as he insisted to look her over, he stopped and their eyes meant and both grinned at each other, and just like that all the fighting and arguing was over and all was forgiving, Harry shook his head at them, sometimes he could not understand either of them.
"What the bloody hell was that about?" Harry demanded, looking at Bill.
"The Thief's downfall." Bill mumbled. "Remember I told you all about it, it's one of the protective charms, removes any spells or enchantments a thief might be hiding himself under."
"We weren't hiding under any spells or anything." Ginny said. Bill shrugged.
"So, we didn't have any removed, but this still isn't good." Bill said.
"They know we're here don't they?" Harry asked, Bill nodded.
"Damn." Harry said.
"Should we leave or go on and try to get the Horcrux?" Ginny asked, looking around.
"I say go on." Harry said, and Sophia nodded.
"They know we're here, we go back up we'll get stopped, at least if we get the Horcrux we would have gotten what we came for." Sophia said.
"And might give of time to think of a way out of here." Caleb said.
"Or find another way out." Bill mumbled, he pulled out the vault map, and began to look over it, it somehow stayed dry, Harry figured it most me some enchantment on it, and since the map was not a their, it was not moved from it when going through the waterfall.
"How far is it to the Lastrange vault?" Harry asked.
"Not too far." Bill said. "Won't take us long to get there."
They all headed down the tunnel, following Bill as he walked along the tracks, and pulled out the things he called Clankers and began to shack them and make a loud rattling noise.
"Bill, what the hell are you doing?" Sophia snapped. "Want to let them know where we are?"
Bill turned and looked at Sophia with one raised red eyebrow. "No, but I want to keep something else away." And with out explaiings farther he turned and walked on, after stuffing the map back in his pocket, and alerting them that they only way out, was to go back up past the other, unless they somehow dug out of the tunnels and up to the word above.
It didn't take them long to reach the Lastrage vault, they just had to walk straight for about fifteen minutes, turn left once, and walk down about another ten minutes, and then it was right there, down at the end of the passage on the right. A large black door, with a fancy gold L on the front. Bill shook the Clanker the who time and kept on shaking them, which was bagining to drive Harry nuts, and when he handed them to Harry with the order to keep shaking them, Harry just rolled his eyes and stuck them down in his pocket.
Bill did a quick check of the vault door, to see what enchantments it had on it, and then after removing what he pulled out the keys, and one by one tried it in the key hole that was in the middle of the L on the Lastrange door, explaining if he was a goblin I had would have to do was touch the door with his hand to get it open.
Finally after what seemed like forever to Harry, Bill had stuck a key in and the door made a clinking noise and flew open, it had been the thrid to the last key on the ring, Bill having tried and failed at using all the others.
"Umm...I just remember you guys never did tell me what we are looking for." Bill said, after looking around at all the piles of jewels and coins, he frowned, it was pretty empty compared to the other purblood vaults, like say the Malfoy's and even the Potter's and Black vaults. More money, then the Weasley vault ever saw, but still kind of bare for a family who were suppose to be one of the richest.
"Look and see if you see either a goblet that once belong to Hufflepuff or a tiara or crown like things that once belonged to Ravenclaw." Harry said.
"And how would I know if this goblet or crown thing I see once be long to a founder of Hogwarts?" Bill asked.
"It'll have either a Hufflepuff's or Ravenclaw's symbol on it." Ginny said, rolling her eyes. "Is it just me or is the Lastrange's not as rich as they claimed to be."
Harry pointed down to a spot in the floor that looked as if there was once a pile of coins there, you could tell by that spot having no dust like most of the floor, there was even spots that had less dust.
"I bet anything Voldemort had been using their cash for whatever he needs." Harry said. And as he looked there was even boxes that should have been full of jewels or gold that now sat empty. "Of some other Death Eater saying it was for Voldemort.
"Who cares how rich they are." Caleb said. "Let's find the stupid thing and get out of here."
"Harry, could this be it." Ginny suddenly asked, she reached up and picked a goblet up off a high shelf, and then cried out.
"What?" Harry spun around toward her. "What happy, Baby?" He looked to see more of the same goblets kept popping up all looking just a like and filling the vault floor, and spelling out the vault door, Ginny had been unharmed though, the shock of the goblets springing up all over the place had caused her to cry out.
Bill turned around and looked at Ginny with side eyes. "How are you holding that? It should be burning you..." He suddenly screamed as the goblets became hot enough to burn him through his pant legs, and as they got higher and higher, he did his best to not touch anything with his bare arms, but was too hard to do.
"Bill!" Ginny cried. "Someone help him!" He took a step toward her brother, but Caleb who was right net to him, grabbed his rob collar with one hand and threw him out the vault door, where Bill was able to roll away from the goblets and lay on the ground for a moment.
Ginny tossed Harry the goblet, and ran out after her brother, and dropped down next to him on her knees. He reached up and patted her arm with a red and blustery hand.
"Good thing it didn't burn you." He said. He had tears in his eyes from the pain all over his body.
Before anyone could say anything else, there was footsteps and a shut of "There they are!" As dozens of Death Eaters and Goblins came running their way.
"Shit!' Harry cried. "Lets get out of here!"
Sophia and Caleb grabbed Bill's arms and pulled him to his feet, and they all took off running down the passages, not really sure to where they were going.
They ran for what seemed like hours, they vampires not willing to run full speed and leave Bill behind, so they kept up with the speed he was running which was actually pretty fast for a wizard. They just kept on running twice they turned, not really knowing way just going to way their feet took them, then they turned down another passage, and came to a complete stop, because right in front of them was a dragon, who had been asleep a moment before, but now stood glaring at them for being woke up, and after raised its head and taking a deep breath and blew out fire, all five dodged out of the way, but the Death Eater's behind them were either not fast enough or too stupid to jump out of the way and a couple of them ended up running off screaming and on fire.
The four vampires and one wizard stood back up, a dragon behind them: looking as if it was getting ready to blow fire again, and a dozen Death Eaters in front of their wands pointed at them.
The four vampires looked at one another, then at the dragon, who was watching them all with curious eyes, and then back and the Death Eaters, then each other again, gave a nod, and back at the Death Eaters, and then suddenly attacked: Bill just stood there mouth hanging open, eyes wide in shock, as he watched the blurs that was five vampires take out every single Death Eater or goblin that had chased them.
When they were done the four vampires stood there, not even out of breathe ( vampires don't breath anyway) covered in blood as bodies and body parts lay around them. The the sound of more footsteps as more came running down the passage, throwing, spells, hexes, curses, and jinx as they came.
"I really don't feel like fighting more." Caleb wined, sounded almost like a little kid.
"We don't really have time for this." Ginny said, she looked to Harry and Sophia as if waiting for one of them to tell them what to do.
"Still got the goblet, Harry?" Sophia asked, he nodded and patted the pocket of his robe. "Good." Sophia turned and walked up to the dragon.
"Sophia what-" Caleb went to grab her, but she held out a hand to stop him, as she walked closer, the dragon just looked down at her curious, then Sophia's eyes turned light blue as she stared into its eyes.
"We need to leave." She told the dragon as the Death Eaters got close. "Help us." The dragon just stared at her for a moment, before dropping on all floors waiting for them to climb on, Bill's mouth dropped open in shock a Sophia climbed on.
"Well, come on." She ordered the others. Caleb was the second to climb on, then Harry, then Ginny, then Bill last.
"Wish Charlie could see this." Bill said, as Sophia pulled out her wand and blasted a hole in the roof, Bill was the only one to duck out of the way of falling dirt and rocks, as Harry used a spell to blast off the chines, keeping the dragon on the ground, once gone, the dragon spared its big wings and took off toward the hole, Sophia held out her wand and went on making a pass way to get throw, Harry, Bill and Ginny, were turned around and throwing spells at the Death Eaters that had caught up with them, some, the smarter ones turn tail and ran at the sight of the carnage, but the stupider ones stayed to throw spells at the escaping thieves.
Once they made it outside, the dragon spared it's wings wider, and took off toward the sky, the sun was starting to set, as snow began to fall, and wind began to howl, they had done it, got the horcrux and made it out, almost safely, and once they were able to land, the goblet would be destroyed and they would be one more Horcrux down.
A.N. Sorry this chapter took so long, I'm running out of idea, so this story won't be very long, just a few more chapters at the most. I'm also kind of getting bored with it and want to move on to other things, but don't want to leave it unfinished so I will finish it. But they really isn't much more they could.
